Justin is married to fitness instructor Lia Smith, with whom he has a daughter.
Justin’s paternal grandfather was Eugene “Gene” Bartha (the son of Francis Clemens Bartha and Bertha Sauer). Eugene was born in New York. Francis was a Hungarian Jewish immigrant, the son of Louis Bartha and Julia Swetzer. Bertha was a German Jewish immigrant, the daughter of Heinemann Sauer and Hilda Stera. The surname Bartha was also spelled Bertha in some records.

Justin’s maternal grandfather was Jack Aaron Anes (the son of Morris Anes and Bessie “Bess” Rubin). Jack was born in New York. Morris and his parents, Josef Anes and Rosie Rutzes, were Austrian Jewish immigrants. Bess was born in New York, to Russian Jewish immigrants, Jacob Rubin and Marsha.
Justin’s maternal grandmother was Charlotte Kratchmar (the daughter of Jacob Kratchmar/Kretchmar/Kretchncar and Dora). Charlotte was born in New York. Jacob was a Russian Jewish immigrant, and was the son of Rebecca. Dora was a Jewish emigrant, from either Russia or Poland (depending on the census).

He was on The New Normal, but it was unfortunately cancelled. Ellen Barkin, who is also Jewish, was on there as well. She was miscast as a bigoted Southerner. I think Justin’s eyes are blue.
Ellen Barkin should’ve been cast as a sexist Southerner instead.
Ellen Barkin played DiCaprio mum in This Boy’s Life that is a terrific movie
why this great show was cancelled ?
it was great
on the other hand it had a lot of stereotypes of gays which is not good
Hangover!
